Eternal Laws of Summerwineland...

[Barrychuckle]

Enjoying watching the series from start to finish again, I'm fascinated by the reoccurring themes throughout the entire series - it's so predictable but no less funny!

To name but a few;

It doesn't matter where in the remote countryside Howard & Marina hideout, either the trio or the ladies always cross their path

Despite Nora knowing Compos intentions she still falls for his tricks to get her close everytime and never seems to learn, such as him crying saying something's in his eye etc

When Howard & Marina invariably get caught after they've 'cracked it this time' they remain undeterred to try something different the following week....

Have you spotted any other 'laws of physics' that only apply in Summerwineland???

No matter where the trio is, Wesley stumbles across them in his land rover or other vehicle

 

[Adanor]

1. If there is a coffin "on view" or a funeral, a ferret will invariably be introduced and let loose by Compo.
2. The trio were always dressed with a coat and tie. Even Compo always had sort of a tie or kerchief.
3. The police officers (those two) never did any police work.
4. No matter what restaurant that Howard and Marina went to, and no matter how remote it was; Pearl and others would end up at the same restaurant.

Whenever water was nearby, someone would fall in

 

[Barrychuckle]

It didn't matter which horse Compo backed - it never won!

 

[wstol]

If Foggy comes up with a business idea which is almost successful, or Seymour invents something that very nearly works - and these ideas fail at the end of the episode - the idea is never modified later so it can eventually become a success.

 

[wstol]

There's always a wardrobe that needs to be moved.

 

[wstol]

If you see a workman working in the background, you know he's going to get bothered one way or another.

 

[mashibinbin]

You don't buy items at Aunty Wainwrights you are sold them!

 

[wstol]

If there's a bridge, someone's going to be dangling off it, or thrown off it.

 

[Pearl]

They all went to school together, even those that looked 20 years younger.

 

[wstol]

Wesley will re-build a boat in a few hours as opposed to months or years.

 

[Barrychuckle]

Whatever the potentially life threatening accident that becomes Compo, the worst he ever suffers is to be cross eyed for a few seconds!

 

[captain clutterbuck]

IF Seymour schoolteacher and inventor was involved it would inevitably go awry and usually at Compo's expense but he keeps going why?????? .................. because the script says he must

 

[Pearl]

Ivy was never arrested to for actual bodily harm or common assault.

 

[imitation700mb]

Not very often did you see the trio (or Howard for that matter) with a change of clothes.......unless it was in the script!

It rarely rains on the show. I live in that part of the world more or less and it rains quite a lot.

On that subject, Summerwineland has an astonishing micro climate - at Christmas you see the snow on the ground but all the summer foliage is in full bloom

 

[Pearl]

Not just that Barry but in Whoops in the background the kids in the school are wearing the summer uniform.

You never go to dedicated shops to buy anything you need, it's always Auntie Wainwrights!
